Hadith

Dr. Maurice Bucaille has brought out many books and articles on the subject of the veracity of the Qur’an. He has proved by scientific argument that the Qur’an is the Book of God.

He does not, however, place the Hadith on the same plane as the Qur’an. Expressing his doubts regarding the authenticity of the hadith, he holds that some traditions are authentic, but that others are either dubious, or should be rejected outright. (p. 243)

Muhammad ibn Ismail al Bukhari was born in Bukhara. Bukhari’s grandfather Mughira was the first in his family to have converted to Islam from Zoroastrianism. Bukhari’s father was a traditionist, but he died when Bukhari was just an infant. After his father’s death, Bukhari’s mother brought him to Makkah from Bukhara.
